Girl or Boy? Mystery✨

This is “Lydia” and Liam. “Lydia” is on the left and Liam is on the right.
My question is what gender is Lydia?
She grew a lot of her feathers faster than her 3 brothers. They are 3 weeks old. He is already showing signs as a boy. I’m really hoping that “Lydia” is actually a Lydia.

If the mother of Lydia is barred and the father not barred then I’d be confident to say girl.

So far Lydia looks well named, and so is Liam.
Feather sexing only works if the chicks are specifically bred to show that trait, otherwise it's totally random.

looks to me as a cockerel and pullet in the picture but they are still a bit young to be certain

Well...
We do a fun hobby with a group of chickens and we treat them like
“Royalty”. So, we know exactly birthdates, deathdates, etc.
The mother is a Buff Cochin. (I think she has a little barred in her tbh).
The father is a mix of a (Black) OEGB and (Splash) Wyandotte Bantam.
(We actually don’t know where the barred came from)
I can’t exactly tell y’all the family of the Cochin because I didn’t raise her.

But if Lydia is a girl. Then, it’s my lucky day. All the “royals” give birth to are Boys. So, she would be the first girl

Plus, if she is a girl. It would be really ironic.

Her mother is named “Elizabeth” and she is the “Queen” right now. She had Boy, Girl?, Boy, Boy.

In real life Queen Elizabeth had
Boy, Girl, Boy, Boy. So, it would be funny if Lydia is a girl.

I am a rank amatuer when it comes to this, but going by comb development I would say Lydia is a pullet and Liam a cockerel, and I will hide and watch to see what smarter people have to say, to see how well I did.

Thanks for all yalls comments. I was getting worried that Lydia was a boy because of all the boys that have been born over the few months.

 

[CountryFlock]

Any barring would be barring. Maybe post some pictures of the mother? We might be able to know 100% if Lydia is a she.

She is Broody right now.
